Further details about the Dandie Derby to be held at The Haining House in Selkirk on June 2nd & 3rd 2018. There will be 4 categories for the racing:

Open - Hope they will run,

Novice - Not sure what they will do.

Puppy - under 1 year.

Veteran - over 8 years.

It’s a fun day out, with a get together in the evening for a meal. On the Sunday there will be a visit to Yetholm, home of the Gypsies Faas Kings who were the main breeders for Dandies in the 18th century, along with the Andersons, Allans and Youngs. In the evening there is to be a Gin tasting followed by a Ghost walk around the Haining - which might prove interesting after the Gin tasting. Spaces for this event will be limited so if you are interested in going please e-mail Kenny and Shona Allan,

as soon as possible.

Manchester Championship Show had classes without CCs. Mike Vickers was the judge with a good entry of 28 dogs, 7 absent. Best Bitch & Best Of Breed was awarded to Ch Cloverwood Ice And Fire (Am Ch & Can Ch Kings Mtn The Governor ex Cloverwood Tilly Treasure) owned and bred by Glen Tinsley, who also won Best Dog with her young mustard Xoranda Ron Day View to Cloverwood (Glahms Royal Canadian ex Int Ch Cloverwood Wish Upon A Star) bred by Alexander Garrett.

Next year Manchester will have its Challenge Certificates reinstated and will be held in February.

There is a change of judge for Crufts. Karen Plastow has had to step down from the appointment which must be so disappointing for her, as you are invited 3 years ahead of the show. The replacement is Paul Keevil. Entries close on Monday 22nd January ‘18.
